CEBU, Philippines — It's all systems go for the fourth edition of University of San Jose-Recoletos's 'Recoletos Run for Fun' this Saturday starting and ending at the Plaza Independencia.

Spearheaded by the USJ-R Alumni Association Inc. Office, around 500 students, alumni, employees and running enthusiasts are expected to participate.

The running event serves as a fund-raiser for the school's scholars.“We are doing this run to support our scholars fully until they finish their studies. This event also serves as a way of an outlet for the students to relieve stress and give themselves a break from their studies,” said USJ-R Alumni Association president Paulino Tudlasan Jr.

The run features 3K, 6K and 12K categories. The 3K and 6K are exclusive for students, alumni and employees, while the 12K is open to all.

Cash prizes and medals await the top three finishers in each category.

Registration fee is pegged at P300 for the 3K, P400 for 6K and P500 for 12K. Registration will be done until the day of the run. One may register at the USJ-R alumni Office in the university's main Campus

This run is one of the highlights for USJR's homecoming event. (FREEMAN)

The visiting Cebu City boxing team is still the team to beat despite losing two boxers already due to technicality in the two-day Visayas preliminaries of the PSC-Pacquiao Amateur Boxing Cup set this weekend at the Manuel Y. Torres Memorial Coliseum in Bago City.

I don’t know how many had anticipated for the “fight” last Sunday but seeing the way it turned out, Jerry Tundag’s column on this paper the following day said it all. After the rip-off fight with Manny Pacquiao, the spectacle was another farce, targeting the gullible who stupidly believed that the match would be exciting.
